> This is not and has never been a problem for consumer based devices. All headphones are made +/- with the same impedance. A quick search for "high-impedance headphones" might be enlightening on this topic. For example, Beyerdynamic offers 32, 80, and 250 ohm versions of several of their models. > If cable length is an issue for you then you're using a really bad cable. I mean, really bad. Or have a severely underpowered output amplifier. A cable has both resistance and capacitance, which means every cable is also a low pass filter. If you are tuning the DAC/amplifier with power consumption as one of the criteria, then actually, yes, you will want the output power as low as possible -- which means cable length is a factor in the optimization.

A cable is a https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transmission_line https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transmission_line and while it is technically a low-pass filter you have to show me actual numbers to convince me that it will significantly affect, let's say > 10kHZ at usual headphone cable lengths.
